The way forward

Speaking before Saturday's home clash with Ipswich Town Lions chairman John Berylson stated: "Just so everyone is absolutely clear about the situation here - whatever the outcome of Saturday's game against Ipswich Town we have every intention of backing our manager.

"The position we find ourselves in at the moment is a cause for concern, we know that, and the nature of our performance in the FA Cup was unacceptable. But we had already identified the problem and have begun to remedy it by signing five new players, none of whom were able to play on Wednesday night.

"Rest assured we will try to sign more within the next few weeks. The manager needs to re-construct the squad and build a new Millwall team to take us forward. We knew this would be the case in the summer, but circumstances have dictated that we are having to bring that process forward."
